Search Syntax Guide

  • Search Scope covers devices (IPv4, IPv6) and websites (domains).
  • When entering a search string, the system will match keywords in "global" mode, including content from various protocols such as HTTP, SSH, FTP, etc. (e.g., HTTP/HTTPS protocol headers, body, SSL, title, and other protocol banners).
  • Search strings are case-insensitive and will be segmented for matching (the search results page provides a " segmentation" test feature). When using == for search, it enforces exact case-sensitive matching with strict syntax.
  • Please use quotes for search strings (e.g., "Cisco System" or 'Cisco System'). If the search string contains quotes, use the escape character, e.g.,"a"b". If the search string contains parentheses, use the escape character, e.g., portinfo().

You can see more detailed search syntax rules in prompts.py.

For more information on the ZoomEye Search API, refer to the ZoomEye API v2 documentation.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  1. ZoomEye API Key

    • Register for an account at ZoomEye
    • Obtain your API key from your account settings
    • The API key will be used to authenticate your requests to the ZoomEye API
  2. Python Environment

    • Python 3.10 or higher is required
    • Alternatively, you can use Docker to run the server without installing Python

Installation

Using PIP

Alternatively, you can install mcp-server-zoomeye via pip:

pip install mcp-server-zoomeye

After installation, you can run it as a script using the following command:

python -m mcp_server_zoomeye

Using Docker

You can also run the ZoomEye MCP server using Docker:

Pull from Docker Hub

# Pull the latest image
docker pull zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:latest

# Run the container with your API key
docker run -i --rm -e ZOOMEYE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:latest

Note: We provide multi-architecture Docker images that support linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 platforms and can run on Intel/AMD and ARM (such as Apple Silicon) processors.

Build from Source

Alternatively, you can build the Docker image from source:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zoomeye-ai/mcp_zoomeye.git
cd mcp_zoomeye

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:local .

# Run the container
docker run -i --rm -e ZOOMEYE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:local

Using uv

uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver written in Rust. It's a modern alternative to pip that offers significant performance improvements.

Installation of uv

# Install uv using curl (macOS/Linux)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Or using PowerShell (Windows)
irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex

# Or using Homebrew (macOS)
brew install uv

Using uvx to run mcp-server-zoomeye

No specific installation is required when using uvx, which allows you to run Python packages directly:

Installing with uv

Alternatively, you can install the package using uv:

# Install in the current environment
uv pip install mcp-server-zoomeye

# Or create and install in a new virtual environment
uv venv
uv pip install mcp-server-zoomeye

Configuration

Environment Variables

The ZoomEye MCP server requires the following environment variable:

  • ZOOMEYE_API_KEY: Your ZoomEye API key for authentication

You can set this environment variable in several ways:

  1. Export in your shell session:

    export ZOOMEYE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
    
  2. Pass directly when running the container (for Docker):

    docker run -i --rm -e ZOOMEYE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here zoomeyeteam/mcp-server-zoomeye:latest

FAQ

What is the ZoomEye MCP Server MCP server?
ZoomEye MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for ZoomEye MCP Server?
This profile displays 26 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.7 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

Use Cases

Web Research & Information Gathering

Fetch and extract information from websites automatically

Example

Research competitor pricing, scrape product reviews, monitor news mentions

Automate 5-10 hours/week of manual web research

Content Monitoring & Alerts

Track website changes, new content, price updates

Example

Monitor competitor blog for new posts, track stock availability, watch for pricing changes

Stay informed without manual checking, never miss important updates

Data Extraction & Aggregation

Extract structured data from multiple websites

Example

Compile product listings from 10 e-commerce sites, aggregate job postings, collect real estate data

Build datasets 100x faster than manual copying

API-less Integration

Interact with services that don't offer APIs

Example

Check form submissions, validate website functionality, test user flows

Automate interactions with any website, even without API

Implementation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop or Cursor with MCP support
  • Understanding of web scraping ethics and robots.txt
  • Rate limiting awareness to avoid overwhelming target sites
  • Knowledge of legal restrictions on data collection

Time Estimate

20-40 minutes including configuration and testing

Installation Steps

  1. 1.Install web automation MCP server via npm or pip
  2. 2.Configure allowed domains and rate limits in MCP config
  3. 3.Test with simple fetch: 'Get content from example.com'
  4. 4.Progress to extraction: 'Extract all product prices from this page'
  5. 5.Set up monitoring: 'Check this URL daily for changes'
  6. 6.Parse structured data: 'Create CSV from this table'
  7. 7.Respect robots.txt and rate limits always

Troubleshooting

  • 403 Forbidden: Website blocks bots—respect their wishes, use official API instead
  • Rate limit errors: Slow down requests, add delays between fetches
  • Stale data: Target site changed HTML structure—update selectors
  • Timeout errors: Site is slow or blocking—increase timeout, try different user agent
  • JavaScript-rendered content: Use headless browser MCP servers for dynamic sites

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Check robots.txt and respect crawl rules
  • +Rate limit requests: 1-2 requests/second maximum
  • +Use official APIs when available instead of scraping
  • +Identify your bot with descriptive user agent
  • +Cache results to minimize repeated requests
  • +Handle errors gracefully with retries and fallbacks
  • +Validate extracted data for accuracy

✗ Don't

  • Don't scrape sites that explicitly forbid it (robots.txt, ToS)
  • Don't overwhelm servers with rapid requests—use rate limiting
  • Don't scrape personal data without consent and legal basis
  • Don't ignore copyright on extracted content
  • Don't assume HTML structure is stable—handle changes
  • Don't use scraped data for commercial purposes without permission

💡 Pro Tips

  • Use CSS selectors or XPath for robust data extraction
  • Set up monitoring alerts for extraction failures (structure changed)
  • Implement exponential backoff for retries on failures
  • Store raw HTML for reprocessing if extraction logic changes
  • Combine with data analysis tools for insights from extracted data
  • Consider using official APIs or RSS feeds as more stable alternatives

Technical Details

Architecture

MCP server handles HTTP requests, HTML parsing, JavaScript rendering (if headless browser), and returns structured data to Claude.

Protocols

  • HTTP/HTTPS
  • WebSocket (for real-time sites)
  • Puppeteer/Playwright (for JavaScript sites)

Compatibility

  • Static HTML sites
  • JavaScript-rendered SPAs (with headless browser)
  • REST APIs
  • GraphQL endpoints

When to Use This

✓ Use When

Use for research automation, content monitoring, data aggregation from multiple sources, and when official APIs don't exist. Best for read-only information gathering.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid for sites with APIs (use API instead), sites that explicitly forbid scraping, when data is copyrighted, or for login-required content without proper authorization.

Integration

  • Scheduled monitoring with change detection
  • Multi-source data aggregation pipelines
  • Fallback to web scraping when API rate limits hit
  • Headless browser for JavaScript-heavy sites
